I skimmed this draft, because - Ted Hardie having transcended from
being an AD to a higher life-form - I thought it looked vaguely
interesting.
Something that struck me was that it looks as if there may be some
parallels between what p2psip is working on and what Dirk Meyer is
talking about (and I attach Dirk's original message for Ted's
benefit).
It may be worth Dirk looking at p2psip.
Dave.

Title : Pointers for Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks, Nodes, or
Resources
Author(s) : T. Hardie
Filename : draft-hardie-p2psip-p2p-pointers-00.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2008-7-3
Discovering overlay networks and the resources found within in them
presents a number of bootstrapping problems. While those hard
problems are under discussion, this draft proposes a small set of
mechanisms which are intended to be generically useful for
providing pointers to peer-to-peer overlay networks in web pages,
email messages, and other textual media. While the mechanisms
described below each meet similar needs, they are not mutually
exclusive; it is expected that each will find some useful
deployment during the early days of peer-to-peer overlay
deployment.

Hi,
I wrote a first draft of a possible XMPP extension which opens new use
cases for XMPP. But before I go into details, let me introduce
myself: my name is Dirk Meyer and I work at the TZI which is part of
the University of Bremen. My doctor thesis is about media networks and
possible new use cases if all devices of a user can interact with each
other.
Unlike a HTTP based approach like UPnP, XMPP provides a much better
core for what I call a "Personal Media Network". My first (not
finished) draft can be found at
http://www.tzi.de/~dmeyer/media-network.html
Before finishing it and sending it to the XMPP council I want to ask on
this list for some opinions about it. It clearly uses XMPP in a way
XMPP was not indented to be used, but it could be the base for new use
cases (examples of such use cases are in the document).
Besides working at the TZI I'm also maintainer of the Freevo project
and want to use the XMPP based private network as communication
between different media applications inside Freevo. I already have a
small Python based XMPP implementation specially designed for this use
cases (not in public svn yet).
So, if you have some free minutes, please take a look at my draft and
tell me what you think about this idea.
Regards,
Dirk
